The assumption of the study was to show the differences in shaping self-care by patients in two different models of nursing: traditional and modern (nursing process). In Group E self-care efficiency increased from the initial value of 10.02 to 31.13 in the third measurement, i.e. over three times, whereas in Group C--from 9.93 to 19.15 i.e., it was nearly twice as high. Only positive effects of changes were observed in both groups which consisted of patients attaining higher categories of self-care.
